Twitter, one of the most popular microblogging sites in the world, has been at the center of discussions about verified accounts, also known as “blue ticks”, for a while. Because the platform sometimes approved fake accounts and sometimes disabled the verified account system. Twitter’s new step seems to eliminate the blue tick discussions on the platform.
Twitter has clarified the blue tick conditions by making an update on the platform’s support page. The platform, which explains who can get blue ticks and what requirements are needed for this, has also eliminated the confusion about verified accounts.
Who can get a blue tick on Twitter?

Users who meet these conditions must meet some requirements.
